Never met him but spoke with him quite a bit during my build, what a great guy full of knowledge, I can’t believe it’s been that long.

I refuse to allow common sense to interfere w/my boat buying decisions.

Wayne was a guy that always made me think.
His theories may not have always worked but most nay sayers had ever tried so how do they know?
I remember one discussion about intakes and flow patterns and what I wanted to change/improve.
To that Wayne said, "Gary, the intake charge is sucked in, not blown, that changes everything".
You know how many hrs I spent staring at parts and thinking about that one statement??? 😮😮😮
Note the I take on this motor 😉
Wayne reminded me of Smokey Yunick.
Smokey used to famously say, it's not what the rules say, it's what they don't say.I'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.
